Light enough for summer, but tasty enough to eat anytime, our Summer Corn Chowder delivers a cornucopia of flavor. Sweet corn, smoky jalapenos, and refreshing cilantro combine to create a succulent soup perfect for lunch or dinner. Serve on its own with crackers, crusty bread, or with your favorite sandwich or salad.

If using fresh corn, remove husks and discard. Use a vegetable brush to remove silks; rinse corn. Holding each ear at an angle, use a sharp knife to cut down across the tips of the kernels at two-thirds depth; do not scrape. Measure 2 cups fresh corn kernels.

In a blender, mix can of Mexican corn blend and heavy cream. Pulse until creamy and smooth, set aside.

In a large saucepan, bring fresh or frozen corn, broth, peas, onion, jalapenos, 2 teaspoons fresh or 3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, salt and pepper to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer the chowder, covered, for 5 to 7 minutes or until corn and onion are tender.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, cook ham over medium heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove from heat.

Stir creamed corn, ham, cilantro, milk and Worcestershire sauce into chowder. Simmer for 25 minutes. If you like, garnish each serving with a fresh cilantro sprig.
